	I have a single frequency monitor which needs a 60 Hz
vertical sync frequency. During boot up my computer evidently
uses a 70 Hz vert. freq. so the monitor rolls vertically during
this period. This continues until I can load a driver in CONFIG.SYS
to change the video mode, or until a mode-changing utility can be
invoked in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

	Is there any way I can force a given video mode during
the boot-up phase? Where is the video mode set during the initial
boot? Is some standard mode always used? If so, what mode is it?

	Thanks.
